DL11 is the offical update. OTA
Bluetooth voice dialing, improved bluetooth support
Flash, gps enhancements,improved os. Hop updates also available
Expect a rollout over 4 days
if this is true, guess what i don't get for christmas?!?! froyo...
i get it the day after.
Should be official just got the rundown, things can always change but the info I got is as legit as I've seen
What is the sources for this information
If it from sprint or samsung its bull****
Why can't they tell us something true for a change :-(

Where did you get your info from?
Sent from my shoe, I mean....Epic shoe... I mean Samsung Epic! http://mobilehighway.blogspot.com/
If true, should there not be DK28 to DL11 updates rolling out to .4 hardware right about now?
Ill believe it when i see it. Sprint and Samsung are horrible when it comes to keeping promises to consumers. Honestly, a bunch of "trained" programmers cant make a stable release better than our community of no-payed programmers. they have all the driver specs and full source codes, while we have to wait for dump files and leaks to create our roms... Its just plain pathetic and a bad way to do business.
Hopefully noob will chime in and give us the skinny
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
its a sprint based material... seen it while assisting someone and it caught my eye. Looks like they added it to the info for epic but havent gone public yet it says effective date dec 26. Since it was the first solid date I figured id share it .... I did preface it knowing sprint and samsung can always change things. I didn't make a post for people to question the date or call me out. It was the first solid piece of info I seen about froyo from sprint or samsung with a date. I contribute nothing to this site sine I cannot develop but have visisted this site for over two years....I finally thought I have something to add.

I for one, as I'm sure others are as well, glad you shared what you know with us.
I hope you'll forgive our skepticism, however. We've been hearing many similar rumors for a while now. At this point, I think it's reasonable to expect sources to be cited when throwing out any concrete info.
We're not looking for personally identifiable information that could get anyone into trouble to be given out. Just some back story to give us a reason to believe what you're saying.
I hope you'll understand that it's tough to believe "some guy on the internet" without any sources cited.
You have to understand
No one is directing at you,but at Sprint and Samsung.
Damnit, i was hoping for froyo before my Christmas trip. Guess I will get a delayed present instead.
I'm sorry for being a silly defensive goose, I don't know how to prove what I seen without risking my job. Believe me I've had the hero I know how long some uss have wait and be promised only to be pushed back and disappointed. I was troublshooting today and seen the update info, its only listed with device info. Not as the normal "we are updating this phone" announcement maybe it was a mess up with IT. Take it with a grain of salt. Which I should've included in the first post.
I heard it would be released Feb. 30th.
Are they gonna release the source too? That's what I really care about now...
Yeah, on Feb. 30th we'll have everything.
Nobody should get their hopes up. Remember back in August when they said mid to late September? Same deal most likely applies here.

Considering this will be an official finalized product as opposed to DK28, yes it will quell that issue lol. No point designing something that will need to be reworked in like a month.

Yeah... I saw that. Little skeptical though because once you trace the source back to handhelditems they say someone got that info from a webchat with Sprint. We all know to think twice about those! lol It does seem to line up with that April 9th update that's been floating around though. Who knows...
Hopefully this is true and not another april fools prank. It was about a week-week and a half ago they rumored it would release in the coming weeks. Fingers crossed.................
With all the sprint leaks we have been getting I think it might be getting close.
But who knows
I already have it thanks damage

don't worry, Sprint will just repackage one of the XDA roms as their own and use it as the official update
ive said it once ill say it again the april 9th update is a maintenance release to fix mms issues not 2.1
sprint hasnt told us anything beyond that
any new news on an "official" release date? im hearing either the 9th or 26th of this month? i don't get why sprint is soo tight lipped about this?
also when is the nexus & evo launching on sprint?

with alot of tweaking to do after the initial install, yes your right.
i hope when the final comes out and we get custom roms, we won't have to apply any fixes. this is one reason im back to 1.5 for now. i have faith in the devs here, they do great work!
Why do we keep creating threads on this issue. It is a waste of space. It will come when Sprint is ready to release it. They have never given an exact date. People get so pissed because they haven't sent an update. Well guess what. When you bought your phone it had 1.5. They are not required to update it to 2.1. Either use a custom ROM or shut up and wait until it comes out.Then when it comes on don't get on here complaining about how crappy the release is.
I have Fresh 2.0d and it is working very well.
----------------------------
Shut up and wait
Running: Fresh2.0d
Developing:WarpedMetal (T minus 2 weeks)
Just got out of a sprint chat. this is what they're saying
honestly no thread can "waste space" as well we have plenty of it. I wasn't complaining nor *****ing about it. I am more happy with the legend based roms then the leaked Sprint roms but when the official Rom hits it will help with more development to fix issues and get faster roms out there. honestly if you don't like these threads the easy thing to do is stay out of them. no one is forcing anyone to read the forum or a certain posts. forums are for talking that is there main and only reason for existing.
damn I hate trolls.

Does Sprint use any automated responses on the chat support? I know there's quite a few companies that do, the program just selects a basic response to generic questions about that subject, and it seems like the responses that are given by these reports are way too "computery" to be coming from a human. So I'm guessing that the system Sprint's chat support uses has a list of responses pop up based on key words in the client's question.
Probably way off base, but it'd almost make sense based on how similar the responses are in all these chat transcripts.
I was browsing Samsung's Official Twitter & They posted this link: http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-says-all-galaxy-s-phones-will-get-android-2-2/
Samsung has mercifully confirmed at an event in New York this evening that all Galaxy S versions -- including the Captivate, Epic 4G, Vibrant, and Fascinate -- will be receiving updates to Android 2.2 Froyo later this year and offer compatibility with Flash 10.1. All of the devices will be shipping with Android 2.1 out of the gate, so considering that Froyo's already launched, we're sure there'll be no shortage of pressure to get the updates fast-tracked. Sprint says it won't be a long wait on the Epic, but otherwise, we don't have any time frames at this point.
So for the people who said "My cousins, brothers, dog said we won't get Froyo.." Well just Read & Weep

And of course we're getting Froyo, a pre-release build (JP3) was leaked quite a while ago.

Umm, didn't they say the behold 2 was getting an upgrade and it never did?
So I don't think them saying prior to release the Galaxy S will get an upgrade is gospel in any way as you seem to be putting it.
Still, I don't think there's more than 1 or 2 people here or really don't think we'll ever get 2.2.
It's just how long they'll take and the longer they take, the more people's trust they'll lose.
According to some sources, we are getting it in mid october. For GSM galaxy x's only.

you do realize thats only about a week away right? There is absolutely no way that we will see 2.2 in a week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, fuk if ever.
If I could sell this I would so get a g2. Unfortunantly with the 2 for 1 sale tmobile is having, theres like 50 brand new in box Vibrants going for 300 so no way I can sell this thing at the moment....
O well, stuck I guess, but I put money that 2.2 does not hit this month, or next, or ever.

after reading this post I will call it a stupid thread, and I hate to flame.
This is OLD info that doesnt really reflect any recent information. Since JUNE there have been alot of delays, and like I said in another thread, the galaxy s is still selling like crazy, so why would samsung put money into development when it doesnt have to? To please people who already gave them their money?
How about "to please their japanese customer base." Their Galaxy S phones just today hit the island of the rising sun today. They've sold 5 million of them thus far. They have no option but to upgrade us.
The froyo rom for the original Galaxy S is leaked alriady. Not to mention that Adobe has the captivate as one of the "coming soon supported devices" in their 10.1 supported mobile devices page.
ON the other hand, tmo might screw us over a little.

They don't have to give it to us. Its not gonna happen... Only way we get froyo is the devs here. I'm hoping eugene can make it happen. Screw samsung, tmobile and the cm team mainly WES...lol
Seriously as much as I'm pissed about not having froyo myself, it's not just us that got jerked around. If I remember HTC incredible users were being told froyo would be released for them in Julyish and they just received it in September. So if we were told September 23 which I believe wasn't specific to the vibrant then we should know it's not just us getting jerked around not just Samsung or t mobile.

As ususal, Engadget gets it wrong. They can't even read a press release, and never bothered to pick up the phone and call Samsung. This announcement was datelined from London and about the UK, which is clear from its context.
See also this thread in Vibrant forum.
p.s. As recently as a few minutes ago, Samsung's Galaxy S support site for the U.S. on Twitter was saying there is not ETA for Froyo on this side of the pond at all.
Deployment for the Epic is even more complicated than the rollout for the GSM-based variants in the U.S. If the Epic gets Froyo in November, I will be most pleasantly surprised.
one way or another it seems like typical samsung taking forever to release an update
I just got word from my sprint connect to not expect froyo until mid-late december... he said it may be well into january before sprint pushes it out. let's hope he's wrong!

Anyone who expected something sooner has been misinformed, or just thinking wishfully. Many examples of both errors have populated comments in the various forums for weeks or months.

I'm inclined to believe this since Rogers in Canada is saying their version of the Captivate will get Froyo in 2011. If Froyo was ready in 2010, everywhere else in the world, why would Rogers tell their customers to expect it in 2011?
Samsung is a joke when it comes to software updates...almost on par with htc gimping allof there products

What? You want to wait until 2012 to get a new OS update?
What does 2.2 offer that you can't have on 2.1? I just don't see what the big deal is anyways. Is everyone that unsatisfied with their phone that they are getting bent out of shape about 2.2? This is Sprint and Samsung we are talking about right? I fully expect it to be here in January or February. In the mean time, I will enjoy my Epic with 2.1 Which is still better than the Evo on 2.2, imho.

I heard flash sucked with 2.2 but that's just me. Granted it's nice to have and it's something the I-suck doesn't have so that's always a plus.
Phone is plenty fast for me but I don't do anything extensive on it. Even when it drops I'll probably still wait a while to see if it's even worth it. Reading the Evo forums, it sounded like it was more trouble than it was worth and broke more things than fixed.

Thats because its on a Evo lol
Yeah I went to the Sprint store when I went and bought my case for my Epic and messed around with an Evo..be it a display, and they had a screen protector on it, the screened looked REALLY grainy, and it was very very slow. I'm guessing it hadn't been restarted in awhile and had every app open on it running in the background. I checked it and sure enough it was running on 2.2.
Here's an idea, how about we make one thread with ALL rumors of OFFICIAL OTA TO EVERYONE NOT JUST TESTERS, etc.... so that we only have one place to get our hopes up. Deal is you have to say rumor, unless its clearly stating upgrade to 2.2/2.3, from a first party source, Sammy, sprint, or google. And if its a sprint employee rumor please clarify that that I the case, as I've seen they are either totally right, or totally misinformed for sales purposes. No ill will, just clarify your source, and exactly what the supporting evidence is.
Cheers!

Yah I thought you were 'encouraged' to donate when you made profit off open source work... which is what this really is... aside from flame wars every complaint about roms etc. Is development... maybe they do donate, but I would hope google as well as these sites donate to the cooks too... amazing what they do in a day compared to salaried workers.
Personally I feel that the 2.3 hopes are crap as of right now. Why do you ask? Well seeing that the Epic does not have an official 2.2 or a stable(bugs fixed) developed version of 2.2, 2.3 will not be working for a good amount of time. Don't get me wrong the developed roms are good so far, but there is room for improvement. Words to live by "live in the present rather then concentrating on the future"
seeing as there arent any good 2.3 rumor threads out, im hijacking this one. Apparently 2.3 is due on june 20th, according to most people in the web. However, today we were told that we might get an update today? what are your thoughts on this? wdm had a pretty good time frame for the 6/20 release date theory so for now that seems to be the most viable option.
thoughts?
Its not true the guy was trying too get people fired up
i heard from a sprint guy who heard from a nextel guy who heard from a samsung guy who heard from htc that samsung will license the open sourced sense 3.0 for the all Galaxy S phones including the epic 4g.
I also heard that 2.4 IceCream will have promotions in which when you purchase a new 2.4 device you get a free icecream sandwich....

These rumors are like meth-coated crack with a heroin filling. I know they are terrible for me, but I just keep coming back for more.

Why does everything have to be so serious ?
it's not like they are hurting anyone or burying useful info in this thread
this whole thing is just rumor based and when it's rumor based we all know it'll get off topic sooner than later.

Ok, based on a few suggestions, I am starting this thread as an Android 2.2 rumor thread for the Epic 4G. This is to be the ONLY thread complaining, whining, commenting, or asking about 2.2 on the Epic! Report all other threads about 2.2 rumors on the Epic and I'll merge them into this one. Also, repeat offenders who make more then one new thread about 2.2 outside this one will be infracted/and or banned for trolling. Thank you for your cooperation, and happy posting

Woo! More unsubstantiated rumors.
With each failed attempt at guessing a release date, our chances of being correct on the next guess improve, right guys? Guys?
So EA17 means that it was completed on the 17th of January. So either they are clueless how to release this OTA without bricking devices or they are really testing the **** out of this one then. I hope its the latter case.
I feel like Charlie Brown going to kick the football. Surely Lucy won't pull it away again this time...
I think this one will actually be the one, theres already proof with that picture. Now Now, I know that it can be edited, but still, it seems like this date will be the one we were actually waiting for.
I just don't get it.
EA17... so it's already done.
It's not out because it's being tested.
So why is there a release date?
- If they know it's fine, it should be out already.
- If they expect it to fail, then how do they know it will be ready by a certain date?
If I had my way a lot would be different... but I don't understand how/why the final release will not be a build dated maybe a week before the actual release date, a date we will not know until it happens.

It makes perfect sense. They are going to test whatever they release for a while to make sure its polished. The rumor that AC received was probably that IF they dont find any major bugs in this version, it will be released on the 21st.
If they are so sure it's fine, they should release it now...
And if they DO find an issue, they'll disappoint everyone AGAIN.
This is nothing more than predicting the future, and they've been doing it poorly for 6mos now, why does Sprint think they'll get it right this time?
Releasing it at such-and-such date assuming all's well is what they have been doing since August.

Sprint isn't leaking the rumors. It's individuals that work for Sprint who want to give us an idea of when we might expect it (then they find some bugs)... or just douchebags that want to throw out rumors for laughs. Again, Sprint doesn't say when they are releasing updates because that makes them look worse if it's buggy or they don't follow through.

I am running 2.2, it has some issues, but works remarkably well. No FC's, and only slight screen rotation lag. So I can wait for Froyo... I am willing to wait because I want them to fix any and all bugs... Whether that be GPS, keyboard misses, screen rotation, whatever..
I am not a Sprint Lacky, have no stock in the company, but how people can get so emotionally attached to a software upgrade is beyond me. I can only imagine what people will be saying if they released a rushed buggy version.
Those of us that flashed the FroYo DK28 will still get this OTA if/when it comes out, right?
Still getting used to this phone. The Nexus One I used to have was a lot different.
I'd be happy with a new leak that's better than DK28 instead of "release dates" for froyo.

Not exactly. You will have to flash stock DI18 for the OTA to come through and install. But I recommend waiting for our dev teams to get hold of it first to tweak it.
